NRCS reorganizes

August, 2004

On May 5, 2004, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) announced a reorganization effort designed to streamline the agency to better meet the growing demands for NRCS services. To learn more about the reorganization, visit http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/about/reorg/index.html .
Effective September 5, 2004, NRCS will officially be closing the following offices: institutes, cooperating scientists, and regions. The reorganization will realign these personnel to our new organizational structure.
Information from this web site will be transferred to new locations within the NRCS web network in a timely manner. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause during the transition and look forward to serving you from our new locations.
Please keep your links to this site. In the next couple of months you will be redirected to the right places on the upcoming National Technology Support Centers site.

Estimating participation in conservation

July, 2004

A revised technical note, "Guide for Estimating Participation in Conservation Programs and Projects," (1801) provides conservationists with an estimated participation rate for the implementation of NRCS conservation programs, projects, and watersheds. In addition, the procedure also estimates technical, financial, and information/education assistance needs; management capabilities of producers; and the timing of adoption. Strategies to improve each of these five areas are included. To access, go to Interactive Tools and you will find a text version of the technical note, an interactive web version of the procedure, and an excel spreadsheet that you can download to your computer.
